The Ghost of Netflix Future

“Who? Netflix? Ah, yeah. They killed themselves back in 2018. Between a couple of weird personnel decisions that decimated their viewership and a few billion in content development costs, well… The writing was on the wall.”

“Huh? I really don’t know why they did that. I guess they figured the millions the Øbamas made though politics and the presidency weren’t enough, so one of the big Øbama bundlers, also a chief content officer for Netflix, Ted Sarandos, convinced some other idiots that it would be a good idea. I can’t understand it either. Susan Rice being on the board probably didn’t hurt his efforts, either.”

“Yeah, they had some really entertaining original stuff – though the second season of Stranger Things was severely disconnected from the first season and, though sensational as all hell, really lost me. I didn’t bother finishing it. Anyway, I found interesting enough fare on Amazon Prime. Though Bezos is no conservative, at least he has had the good sense not to hire up the failed Øbama administration.”

“I know, right? What could the Øbamas and Susan Rice possibly bring to the entertainment industry? Dyed-in-the-wool leftists – socialists, if you ask me – how will they resist using this platform to spew leftist garbage? Not that much in Hollywood and the like have much that leans right, mind you. What possible business sense could this make?! None, I tell you. It is purely politically motivated. Netflix is now a declared propaganda arm for the left. And it’s not like Øbama needed it – Lord knows: every mainstream media outlet is staffed by Øbama sycophants. So much so that he has had a rather loud voice in trying to derail the Trump agenda. I don’t recall any other ex-president (and I use the term loosely) attempting to interfere – openly criticizing a new sitting president – in the manner Øbama has. Of course, the Bushes chimed in as well, but at least they weren’t openly engaged in destroying the country beforehand. In my opinion, Øbama behaved stupidly his entire time in office.”

“Prison time for Øbama? Don’t know. As revelation after revelation pops up from Mueller’s fishing expedition, it certainly does appear that Øbama turned the justice department into an arm of his personal supreme soviet. Biggest presidential scandal in history. And his sycophant media says he had not one scandal during his presidency! Pshaw! What about Fast and Furious? Or, another: how come so many recipients of ‘stimulus’ funds were Øbama donors? I could go on and on.”

“But, yeah – if the evidence proves that Øbama was abusing the office to the extent it appears he had been, I would think that he should be indicted for malfeasance in office, at the very least. Doubtful that would ever happen. After all, Hillary still roams the earth free as a bird after multiple felony violations.”

“Anyway, got to go. Yeah. I couldn’t countenance tacitly supporting the Øbamas through my Netflix subscription. I remember waiting a bit – such a daft move couldn’t possibly be real – but once it was confirmed, I cancelled it that very morning. Yeah, I’ve missed it. But that’s the difference between conservatives and liberals. We will make sacrifices for our principles. If tables were turned, liberals would have lobbied for laws to make Netflix illegal…”
